We’re working on our old house that we used to live in, but have rented out for the past several years. It’s in another community in southern Kansas about an hour’s drive from here. We went there today to do some work and were there yesterday evening for awhile.
The work is going rather slowly, it seems. I know it will pick up and if we’re persistent, it will look nice when we’re done. But right now, we’re kind of in the messy, tearing-out phase and it just seems to drag on and on.
Life is like that sometimes (you knew there would probably be some kind of “lesson” in this, didn’t you?). We seem to just plod on and on with little progress, getting “another day older and deeper in debt” as the old song goes. Sometimes we even wish we were somebody else or could move or get another job, etc. We wish we could win the lottery and not have to work any more. I don’t know what your fantasy is, but those have been mine in the not-too-distant past.
God put us here for a reason and for a purpose. Life indeed can be drudgery. Life indeed can be boring. Life indeed can be old. We may not know why, or even how, but that’s not for us to necessarily know. God loves us. That should be enough.
And that’s what makes the prospect of life with God so great. Some day, we’ll no longer be bored. No longer old. No longer slogging through the day. And it will last forever. Get that? Forever.
Now, that is something to think about.
